PAU-PLI No.2 Before Dating
PAU-PLI No.2 Before Dating is a women's eau de toilette by the Korean brand PAU-PLI, released in 2023.
This fragrance belongs to the floral and fruity family, combining juicy berry-fruit freshness with a soft floral heart and a warm musky-woody base.
The name Before Dating itself sets the mood of light excitement, allure, and pleasant anticipation.
This perfume is for those who love cheerful compositions with a noticeable sillage, while still wanting to preserve femininity, tenderness, and playful energy in their look.
Fragrance Character and Development
At the opening, No.2 Before Dating sounds bright and sparkling: juicy fruits and a citrus accord create a feeling of freshness, like the first sip of a cool fruit drink.
Apple adds a crispness to the composition, while blackcurrant and strawberry make the scent richer and more flirtatious.
As it develops, the fruity tone softens and gives way to a floral heart.
Freesia lends it airiness, rose adds a romantic touch, jasmine brings white-floral expressiveness, and sweet pea supports the composition's soft, slightly sweet character.
In the base, the fragrance becomes warmer and rounder.
An amber accord adds depth, raspberry preserves the juicy berry nuance, sandalwood brings a smooth woody foundation, and musk makes the finish more sensual and noticeable on the skin.
Wearability and Sillage
Positioned as a women's eau de toilette, the fragrance is nevertheless considered to have very strong sillage.
Therefore, No.2 Before Dating can make its presence known within the first few minutes and leave an expressive scented cloud around the wearer.
The composition feels especially natural in warm weather, when fruity and floral notes unfold more freely, but with moderate application it can also complement everyday looks in any season.
The fragrance is suitable for a walk, a meeting, a date, or any occasion when you want to add energy and presence to your look.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not available.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and see how the fragrance develops on your skin; on fabric, it may last longer and smell more intense.
Its Place in the PAU-PLI Line
PAU-PLI is a Korean perfume brand focused on women's fragrances in eau de toilette concentration.
No.2 Before Dating reflects the characteristic aim of this direction: a clear, emotional, and instantly memorable scent profile in which fruity appeal meets a romantic floral base.
There is no information about the specific perfumer, a separate collection, or other concentrations of this release, so comparing it with Eau de Parfum or Extrait versions would be inappropriate.
Among fragrances that may appeal to fans of a similar fruity-floral mood, consider Escada Moon Sparkle, as well as Brocard Pink Taxi and Brocard Explosion des Fleurs.
